5.4.4 P e d e s t r i a n d e t e c t i o n
system (PDS) *
The PDS will, based on the IFC installed on
the windshield, detect pedestrians ahead
and actively assist the driver in avoiding or
mitigating collisions with pedestrians within its
operating range so as to lower the likelihood of
accidents. When a collision is about to occur,
the PDS will issue an alarm to alert the driver
that the vehicle is ready to apply emergency
braking, and then will assist in braking and
activate the AEB.
NOTE
Precautions for use of camera.
CAUTION
The PDS cannot be substituted for a
driver’s attention during driving!
Proximity warning
If a potential collision with a pedestrian is
detected, the system will alert the driver to
actively apply braking through the audible
warning and warning lamps on the instrument
cluster when the speed is between 30km/h and
64km/h. The duration of warning is contingent
on the practical traffic conditions and the
driver’s action. In addition, the vehicle is ready
for applying emergency braking at any time.
The proximity warning function of the PDS
is integrated in the FCW system. For its
activation/deactivation method, refer to the
description of the FCW system.
Active brake assist
If the driver does not respond to the
alarm issued by the system, the PDS may
automatically apply full braking when the
vehicle speed is between 4 km/h and 64 km/
h. If a potential collision is detected, the PDS
will reduce the speed by braking to lower the
likelihood of the collision.
The active brake assist function of the PDS
is integrated in the AEB. For its activation/
deactivation method, refer to the description of
AEB.
The accurate activation of the PDS depends
on the accuracy of pedestrian information
detected.
CAUTION
The PDS may be unable to detect
pedestrians under all conditions, and thus
the driver shall be fully responsible for the
safety of the vehicle.
